Fleming's decision to field looks a good one so far.

More bad news for England.The second wicket has fallen.Bell gone.It's 31-2 in 9 overs.

Did England lose or something?
Not too shocked...but taking nothing away from NZ...Well Done!!

NZ are a good team, they'll make the semis.

Anyway at least we wont experience choking in the semis (probably becasue we wont get there)

Yes, England lost by six wickets. There is a lot more discussion about the match in this thread.

I guess to choke one first needs to be able to breathe.
